Because a water pump, water block on both the CPU and GPU and tons of tubes, don't take up much space?
Imagine having a big Noctua on every component...
EDIT: I wanted a Noctua but with my two big GPUs, there is no space for a Noctua... and depends on which motherboard also includes water cooling tubes already built-in.
Much more space on CPU (at least you see the RAM and other components), yeah, depends on how you built it. The PC can "breath". When I said "you need a lot of space" I mean on the CPU, if your RAM and 2 GPU is all near there... all the heat gets concentrated.
DIY Perks on YouTube did a beautiful machine with a Noctua cooler on a GPU. All with a nautical theme.
As I have more GPUs, inside the case it's full of components and with a Noctua (if it even fills in) would be hard to "breath". It's not that difficult to understand...
Big air coolers don't fit because there isn't enough height off the CPU inside the case. An O11 Dynamic (regular size) doesn't fit an NH-D15, for example, but it fits water cooling with at least one regular thickness 360mm rad on top just fine. (And also one on the bottom, and a thin one on the side).
